...examples cover the whole history of Japanese prints from 1650 to 1850 and include the works of the greatest artists of the period. The prints are being circulated on tour by the American Federation of Arts and were made in the studios of Toyohisa Adachi in Tokyo.

Other chief agency for labor news is independent International Labor News Service, which usually sees things...

Its development, described graphically by Leftist Volunteer Ralph Bates in the New Republic four months ago, was gradual. Other Madrileños, in the frantic first days of the capital's defense, saw that the men of the Fifth Regiment were actually being drilled before being sent into the lines, that it seemed to have...
